B&C Blog: 11-6 Day Long Celebration Well, the guys kicked-off today’s Radio Program fromMudville 9, a bar located at 126 Chambers Street in Manhattan, which just happens to be a stones’ throw away from the parade route that the World Champion New York Yankees will take for their celebration. The bar was packed and the energy level was high, but unfortunately for everyone, we had some technical problems and the guys had to cut the remote part of the broadcast short and head back to the WFAN studios to finish the final three hours of the pre-parade celebration. When the guys arrived back here to Hudson Street, Craig was still wearing his Yankee hat, which rubbed Boomer the wrong way. The guys then had a discussion about the future of Yankee darling, Andy Pettitte, who is not under contract for next season…Plus, Craig declares that nothing tops being a New Yorker, then he pleads with school teachers to act human today before Jerry gives us a quick sports update, the overnight star duo of Fo Onassis and Mina perform their hit ‘Here Come the Yankees’, the Governor David Paterson gives us his parade plans, I man very special to me - Fergal Murray – who just happens to be the Guinness Brewmaster (mmmmm Guinness), Craig’s new TV partner (for the day) Chris Wragge calls to make sure Craig is all set for today’s appearance on CBS 2, World Famous Tattoo Lou talks about Yankee ink, a Moment that sums up the day and the guys NFL picks…
B&C Blog: 11-5 That's That After last night’s Game 6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, the New York Yankees are back, where they believe, they belong. Pedro Martinez was far from good and Andy Pettitte did what he had to do to earn his 18th post season victory, of his 15 year career. I’m not gonna lie, today is tough day for me because I am a fan of the Phillies and it’s a lot more difficult functioning on less than three hours sleep when your team loses, but I’m a pro so I’ll grind through it. Anyway, if you were a fan of the Bombers, you had it all last night, vintage Pettitte, three hits from Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera on the mound for the final out, Joy-Joy. Hideki Matsui took home the MVP honors after his record tying six-RBI performance and Boomer says you can’t help but be happy for Yankee skipper Joe Girardi, personally I have to disagree. One thing that caught Craig’s attention was following the final out, when the celebration commenced, ‘The Captain’ himself Derek Jeter, was bypassed as the Yankees chose instead to mob Alex Rodriguez. The time they have a changed folks…Plus, during Jerry Recco’s first update Craig imagines the night that Alex Rodriguez had with Kate Hudson and we also heard some ‘exclusive audio’ from the Boss’ son Hank ‘Where’s Your Moses Know’ Steinbrenner, a listen back to John Sterling’s final call, the exact moment the guys knew the Yankees were gonna be celebrating, Girardi’s redemption song, yet another chat with the good folks over at Fox 5’s Good Day NY program, John Flaherty chimes in on all of the happenings and a Moment that you couldn’t help but laugh at…
B&C Blog: 11-04 #27??? An interesting morning on the Boomer and Carton Extravaganza, that had the guys back in studio after taking the entire staff to New Orleans for a little reprieve. There was certainly plenty to talk about as the Yankees get ready to welcome the Phillies to the Bronx for a pivotal Game 6 and the Boom will be in attendance. Boomer was so excited about going to the game, along with his daughter Sidney; that he vented some of his energy by beating up on Craig, literally. After the beating Craig saw something on ESPN that caught his attention and then the guys had a spirited discussion about Mark Teixeria’s lack of production on the World Series…Plus, Jerry gets a little hot under the collar while delivering his 6:30 update and Charlie Manuel reveals a trick of the trade, Craig voices his concerns about Boomer’s attire for tonight’s game, Christopher Walken shows his poker face, Craig plays nice with the folks over on the Fox 5 Good Day NY program, Jerry gets killed for his 8:30 update, Al Dukes books Jerome Bettis against Craig’s wishes and a unanimous Moment of the Day selection…

B&C Blog: 10-29 Behind the 8-Ball World Series Game 1 is in the books and the Yankees find themselves trailing the Phillies from Philadelphia after last night’s 6-1 loss. Cliff Lee pitched a complete game and baffled Yankee hitters all night long. Now the question becomes, should fans of the Bombers be pushing the panic button?? Craig certainly doesn’t think so and Boomer didn’t seem all that worried either. It was an interesting night in the Bronx to say the least, as Craig had some choice words for a fan from Philadelphia, which I was there to see, it happened prior to my untimely ejection…Plus, an early morning update from Jerry Recco, a discussion on what men like in a woman, a listeners tribute of sorts to Pedro Martinez, another spot with the folks over on Good Day NY, a tribute to the Yankees from aspiring performer Fo Onassis, Governor David Paterson checks in, a Moment that Jerry tried to escape and Boomer’s old pass catching buddy Cris Collinsworth…

Tracy at the Bat
Brooms in the Bronx Marc Malusis said it best around 4:30 am today: “It’s a Yankee Monday. ” Boy, is he ever right. The Bronx Bombers and their four-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium has the overnight and morning show callers saying that the American League Eastern division title is a foregone conclusion for the boys in pinstripes.
Who knew Craig could bang 'em? Great to have the boys back this morning after their three-day weekend. Jerry Recco, Al Dukes AND C-Lo also decided to take last Friday off, so even though we love Adam “The Bull” doing the fill-in, the universe now feels back in alignment with almost everyone in their place (C-Lo is off this week on a golf course somewhere in Jersey). That “creature of
Yankee pride, Mets stumble and life goes on Props go out to the men who wear pinstripes and their fans today – the New York Yankees are in sole possession of first place in the American League East!
Yanks win, Mets don't and what's with the perv taking vids.... Three game sweep by the Yankees and another subpar performance by the Mets are part of the Monday morning 4:00 am newsroom chat here at WFAN. But Jerry Recco, C-Lo and Harris Allen were all debating whether 59 year-old Tom Watson choked or merely showed his age by missing the winning putt at the British Open yesterday.
The Running of "The Bull" What a great day for Yankee fans and yes, another day of gloom for Met supporters. The Yanks in FIRST PLACE, tied with the Red Sox following their loss last night, after a sweep of their series with the Twins. Mark Malusis’ overnight callers were pumped about yesterday’s afternoon win when I arrived around 4:30.
